Climate change is a global issue with some countries routinely singled out for blame. Although China’s emissions are increasing on a per-capita basis, reports show that Americans and Europeans continue to produce more CO2 emissions per average person. Future Tense shines the light on how lifestyle counts when tallying world CO2 emissions.

Oil Sands Question and Response (OSQAR) is a blog created by Suncor Energy to support constructive dialogue about the oil sands. In our weekly posts, we talk about the energy industry, environmental impact, tailings management and reclamation, water management and the social and economic implications of oil sands development.

Our oil sands operations are near Fort McMurray, Alberta, where we recover bitumen from oil sands through mining and in situ operations. The bitumen from both operations is then upgraded to refinery-ready feedstock and diesel fuel. More about the where and the what of the oil sands can be found on our oil sands resource page.
